Obviously a biased answer....but Im going to say the Texans. We have two home games and our first is against a stuggling team. I think the outcome of this game will tell us alot about how well our team has or has not improved.

As for the Titans....I think we are on the same level as them. It will be a race to see who is the worst in the AFC South.

With TO possibly returning to the line up this week, I think we have a better chance to win between the Skins and Fins than the Titans do between the Fins and Boys.

Looking at this schedule, the Titans/Texans match looks to set up the first win for either team, unless one or the other upsets before then. Looking at this schedule, I think the Texans should do 1 to 2 games better than the Titans. I am basing this on the Texans playing the Jets and Raiders and not Baltimore. As much as we hate our schedule, the Titans' looks harder.

I just can't see the Titans winning better than 2 this year. Call me a homer but they're really, really bad right now. I know our first two games aren't a basket of sunshine either, but I still think the Titans are worse.

The Texans have shown flashes of NFL-caliber football on the offensive side of the ball. The Titans have shown nothing on either side of the ball. The Texans have played slightly tougher opponents to this point. I'd have to say my expectation for the Texans still has not changed - six wins. And we'll get one before the Titans do.

May-be Vince was just being funny but on News Channel 4 last-night (10pm) Vince said and I quote: "We are not done yet as a team. Watch us make the play-offs!"
I wonder was he talking about this year or next year! Seriously, though he may be right... I HOPE!

AWAY against Washington- WIN (VY wins his 1st game as starter)
BYE WEEK (much needed rest at 3-3)

HOME against Ravens- WIN Sorry, Steve (VY will be an established starter.)
AWAY against Eagles- LOSS (funny game after beating rivals)
HOME against Giants- WIN (Titans TAKE BACK THE HOUSE) Hit the road jack...

Play-offs>>>>Superbowl?
TIME WILL TELL!

To me I like when players do this, did Roy Williams think Detroit was going to post 40 on the Bears. no; but at least he made an attempt to get his team and the fans hyped. I'll compare

1.VY saying they will make the playoffs= A man who believes he and his team belong in the NFL

2.Texan fans saying we lost to two superbowl contenders,and some of the players getting down on themselves= We have no stinkin chance and really shouldn't ever try to win if the team is supposedly better than us.
